TAMPA, Fla. -- Somehow, someway, the Rams are 2-1.
Their early season schedule is a nightmare, their offense remains troublesome and their secondary needs work. But the Rams have recovered from a humiliating season-opening loss to the lowly San Francisco 49ers with back-to-back victories, first against the menacing Seattle Seahawks and, on Sunday, on the road against the upstart Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Backed by two touchdowns from Todd Gurley, a 43-yard score from Tavon Austin and a 77-yard fumble recovery from their vaunted defensive line, the Rams left Raymond James Stadium with a 37-32 win on a late afternoon that included a 75-minute lightning delay at the two-minute warning, giving Jeff Fisher his first Week 3 victory since joining the organization in 2012.
